This is Comic-Con International convention week, and the links here have swelled. Late arrivals of note: the Shel Dorf article in the Union-Tribune section is a fascinating read, under "Publisher News" Newsarama is doing a nice series where they give smaller publishers a platform to pitch, and there are various PDFs of resources from this site in their own section.
If you have a moment, please do me the favor of checking out a pair of the below links:
Second, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund section has a bunch of stuff worth noting. Please see if you can support that group at their party or through their auction. Supporting that group's First Amendment advocacy is my favorite of comics' many fine charitable causes.
